Kinsa thermometers have been extensively tested and cleared by the FDA and they meet ASTM and ISO standards for professional accuracy*.
Important Accuracy Tips:
Always wait for three flashing lines on the display before every reading. Wait at least 15 minutes to take a reading after eating, drinking, exercising or bathing. If you or your Kinsa were outside on a cold day, wait until you are used to the new temperature before taking a reading.
A person’s body temperature will fluctuate depending on the time of the day. The best method to determine your own normal temperature is to record it twice a day (early morning and late afternoon) when feeling well. The average of the two is considered your normal body temperature.
Ear temperatures accurately reflect core body temperature, since the ear drum shares a blood supply with the temperature control center in the brain: the hypothalamus.
Smart Ear thermometer monitors the infrared heat radiated from the eardrum and surrounding tissue and detects once an accurate temperature measurement has been taken.
Ensure the ear is clear of earwax and debris and the tip of the thermometer is clean.
Choose one ear to use for readings and stick to it. There is a small temperature difference between both sides of the head and so choosing one ear will produce more precise readings.
Smart Ear uses an infrared ray to measure the temperature inside the ear. To ensure the most accurate reading, please use the proper technique:
For infants under the age of 1, gently tug the ear straight back to straighten the ear canal before taking a reading.
For children over the age of 1 and adults, gently tug the ear straight up and back before taking a reading.
The probe tip is the most delicate part of the thermometer. It must be clean and intact to ensure accurate readings. If there is any debris left on the sensor window at all, it will throw off readings.
To clean the probe tip, use a cotton swab with alcohol and gently clean the small round window at the tip of the sensor.
Smart Ear is designed to be used without probe covers so you never have to worry about refills. Clean the probe before and after every use.
Use storage cap (included) to protect your thermometer from dust when not in use.
